Randy Foye has supplied the Nuggets with much-needed offense. (AP/Isaac Brekken) Welcome to another week of The Wire Troll. As we approach the second half of the season, our goal is to recommend players that can assist you in capturing a Fantasy basketball championship. Whether you participate in a shallow or deep league, we have […]

It is hard to believe but here we are — 2014 is upon us and now is the time of waiver wire discontent. With just five weeks until the Olympic break, injuries and depth count more than ever. The strangest thing is there are only a handful of weeks after the break so that playoff move has to start a bit sooner rather than later.

Last week, RotoRob issued a unique challenge to us to also recommend players that can assist those participating in deeper leagues. These leagues typically consist of more than 12 teams, with 16 roster spots or greater, so free agent findings can be slim in such formats. This week, a majority of our recommendations are based on this criteria as we kick off the New Year.

With the injury count rising to Olympic levels (2010), it really is time to start digging deeper and deeper. Hey, what would you like us to do? This is the reality nearly every Fantasy owner faces. Countless people we talk to lament about how they keep having to drop talent because there are not enough IR or IR+ slots. It is hard to fathom, yet this problem exists.

With the numerous problems encountered by the Nets, Teletovic has emerged as a bright spot in recent games. Seeing substantial playing time, he has responded with an average of 15 points, four boards and three treys over his last four outings. Teletovic can also block shots, which only enhances his Fantasy value.

Yeah, remember Locker? He has out been since Week 10 following foot surgery. What was lost this season is that Locker was really showing improvement. His QB rating was up 12 points from a year ago and he was showing mobility with 6.5 yard average carry and two rushing TDs. Not many QBs enjoy early success and Locker has had to earn his due. However with durability being an issue from him we feel like he still has a lot to prove. He is a great Dynasty add at this point largely because we feel like he will get no love this offseason or this summer in Fantasy drafts. That’s okay, because come Week Four of the 2014 season, some owners will be searching for a QB and Locker — who will have strung three dynamic starts together for your team — will not be available.

One of the mysteries of the 2013 offseason was why the Warriors weren’t interested in re-signing Jack. In 2012-13, he was the “glue” in Golden State as its sixth man, averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists while hitting 40 per cent of his three-point attempts. Of course, the Warriors surprised Denver in the first round and then took the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the Western Conference semifinals. Jack moved on to Cleveland and is now beginning to gel with his new teammates. He has been very effective over the past several games and is once again proving he’s a Fantasy worthy combo guard.
